The Cowboy Senator.


The man who will take Senator ReaganA

rived. He will take the noted Texans seat. but
hardly his place, In Congress. AT 2rst sight
the Hon. Mr.. Martin somewhat startles one. He
is directly. opposite to Mr.. Reagan in build, for
the latter is fat, round. and short, while Martin
is tall. angular. and thin.
Take Buffalo Bill. TcxasJ Jack, and Buck Tay-
lor. the cowboy, and roll them together and
something that resembles the Hon. Mr.. Martin.
He looks u typical cowboy. His sharp features
long black hair for a frame. On his head he
wears the well-known soft broad brim black hat
loose black clothes, which are covered by q
long, shaggy. greatcoat., He wears a black
cravat, and his, billed, shirt front glares forth

Mr.. Martin looks like he could make things

STEEL WORKS SHUT DOWN

~ 2 ptE Stut IN NortF VoESt
WORCESTER, Mass, Nov. 8.-The Bes-
semer steel works In this city are idle. The
men say that they are out on strike. and the
proprietors say that tho works have shut
down. The action has nothing to do with the
report that all the Bessemer steel mills In the
country are to shut down on Dec. 1. although
tho mill would have stopped next month. for
the managers were shaping their affairs with
that end In view. The mill employs between
400 and 800 men. about half Of them In the
steel department. Last spring. during the
epidemic Of labor troubles. the workmen
struck for an advance. Tho mills were run
ming on contracts which had to be filed ut
certain dates, and the company was forced to
yield. The advance prices have been paid
ever since. and nightly the fires Of the steel
furnaces have Illuminated the eastern part Of
the city. Last night all was dark In that direc-
ton, and within the enclosure the Waterman
made his lonely rounds In silence.

demanded the, withdrawal, Of the cut-down

because there are no workmen.. The man.

cially when the ice blockade Of last year caused
an expenditure Of more than $1,000 to change

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of sufiocation
while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep sound
lSand undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear,
brain active and free from pain or ache; to know
that no poisonous, putrid matter defles the
breath and rots away the delicate machinery of
SMELL taste and hearing; to feel that the system
does not, through its veins and arteries, suck up
the poison that is sure to undermine and destroy,
is indeed blessing beyond all other human en-
joyments. To purchase immunity from such a
fate should be the object of all afflicted. But
those who have tried many remedies and physi-
clans despair of relief or cure.
